we shall heal our wounds, collect our dead
I got a report this morning that a fire had started out near the shoreline here, Ronin is explaining as he tucks in his wings to start descending down towards Metacarpal Island. With the wind howling in their ears and rushing past them it's easier to use the Attuned bond to carry the conversation, the Knight having partially shifted to make the journey.
And despite the smoke he can already scent on the air and the way he knows it will linger on their clothes long after they're done here, he can't deny that he's enjoying the feel of the brisk gale against his overheated skin. Longheat always comes for Torchline with a vengeance, but this year feels particularly vicious, and after they're done he might suggest they swim back to the mainland fully clothed to cool off some more.
I know, I know, he continues, amusement threading through his words, I take you to the best places. Ah - there it is. Below them the island appears in a haze of ivory and scarlet, and on the coastline he can already see the telltale lines of smoke from a fire that could well get out of control if they don't do something soon.

THE WHITE KNIGHT
